Smile

If only you would smile
Maybe I'd stay for a while
But I can't see what you won't betray
I don't have time to adventure so close
So come out and show yourself
Show us who you are
Be yourself one and if ever again!

As we wait side by side
Your breath reveals no love
For it hides the smile of no hope
Set you up for a man who can shine through
The shit you've been shoved into

So wake up thy eyes
To the skies look no more
Stop waiting for a sign
Deliver yourself into his arms
Betray yourself to his soul
Stop waiting for miracle that might never show
Come close and show us who you are

So me, yeah I stopped noticing myself
I know me by my betrayal while not waiting
A mirror tells me nothing but a magazine's lies
I bought into a visual acceptance we can't maintain
Images of the profane spread across our walls

If only you would smile
Maybe I'd stay for a while
But I can't see what you won't betray
I don't have time to adventure so close
So come out and show yourself
Show us who you are
Be yourself one and if ever again!
